  • a fitting end

    I stopped by a grave today. I have been for the past few years every other week. Just to spend a buck on a candle and tuck a cigarette under the headstone. Said a few words, wished he were there to see it all. Wondering what'd he think.

    It's all just overgrown now in wild rose and some type of a blue berry bush. Nobody else visits anymore. I think it was poetic. The stone-carved maid covered in sticky branches.

    I lit the candle and sat down by the plot, watching it burn for a while, wondering if the bush leaves would somehow catch fire and engulf the entire cemetery in flames.

  • Sweden’s fossil helpers

    This week the far-right gov’t of Sweden cut an off-shore wind farm and subsudized the flight industry.

    Not just out of some “flight tax is theft” rhetoric but for the explicit purpose of increasing the amount of air travel ("for growth"). Airline industry celebrated the decision.

    As for the wind slash, that they justified by saying nuclear power is better and will fix it. Why not both? The wind farm would’ve provided the equivalent of several nuclear power plants.

    I sip cooled coffee, ~bartender, another?

    I ready myself for a night of coffee, music from far away, pricing CB's on amazon (a smaller, Cobra unit is being purchased (likely)).
